Review of Witching & Bitching (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Jun 2014

Review of Remembering the Artist: Robert De Niro, Sr. (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Jun 2014

The art is the reason to see the enjoyable but egregiously slight Remembering the Artist: Robert De Niro, Sr…

Review of The Sacrament (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 May 2014

With The Sacrament, director Ti West has bitten off more of a premise than his classically modest barebones approach to horror movies can presently…

Review of Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 May 2014

Greatly cognizant of the revenge genre's penchant for hypocritical demagoguery, director Arnaud des Pallières unsettles the audience's usual…

Review of Stand Clear of the Closing Doors (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 May 2014

We're simply presented a person in trouble, and we're allowed to recognize his problems as extreme embodiments of universal issues of terror,…

Review of Devil's Knot (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 May 2014

Atom Egoyan is a much better director when he drops the art-film fanciness and wrestles directly with his inner voyeuristic weirdo…

Review of The M Word (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Apr 2014

Like a number of cult directors to emerge in the 1970s, Henry Jaglom values a party atmosphere at the expense of narrative cohesion…

Review of The Final Member (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Apr 2014

A potential barroom joke blossoms into a surprisingly poignant portrait of three aging men wrestling with how to shed their mortal coil…

Review of Proxy (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Apr 2014

It transforms itself from a meek lo-fi indie stalker thriller in the key of May to a hysterically sexist and homophobic revenge film…

Review of Hateship Loveship (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Apr 2014

It ultimately offers little more than another opportunity for famous actors to indulge their fetishistic, inadvertently condescending impressions…

Review of Nymphomaniac: Vol. II (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Mar 2014

The sex in Nymphomaniac is inhuman, mechanical, boring, and predictably viewed through the (male) scrim of someone who characterizes women…

Review of Refuge (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Mar 2014

The problem with the film isn't the contrivance of its premise, it's that writer-director Jessica Goldberg doesn't know it's contrived…

Review of Better Living Through Chemistry (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Mar 2014

A sexily chaotic parody of entitlement becomes just another tale of a white dude learning that there are worse things in life than essentially…

Review of The Face of Love (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Mar 2014

An almost offensively tasteful dud that remains irritatingly on the surface, more alive to the set design than the characters' motivations…

Review of The Bag Man (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Feb 2014

The premise might make sense, if only hypocritically, but the film abandons this already flimsy parody of macho pride disastrously at the last minute…

Review of The Pretty One (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Feb 2014

The film is a quiet, tender triumph that leaves you feeling as if you've been embraced without you feeling had…

Review of 24 Exposures (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Jan 2014

Throughout, Joe Swanberg connects Generation Y's fetish for past pop-cultural kitsch to its attending sexual insecurities…

Review of Reasonable Doubt (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Jan 2014

You may feel as if you're watching two or three abbreviated episodes of Law & Order in quick succession rather than a fully realized movie…

Review of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Jan 2014

Several reels' worth of ugly, unshaped footage that wouldn't have been deemed fit for a movie's end-credit outtakes not so long ago…

Review of The Past (2013)
